[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I just can't express how proud I am to see you share your faith. Glad to see you back ❤

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you so much Delonda!! It’s so good to be back! I figured now is the perfect time to slightly pivot my content!

[@brendarivera4746]

We are all rooting for you!! Love the new approach. We all breath the same air and bleed and sweat the same way. Who knows how many people you will bring to the Lord with this new approach. Congratulations!!

[@DIYAlex]

Thanks Brenda!! The Lord will use it for His purposes.

[@karlathomas3264]

You just made my heart smile so big, so many people are afraid to let others that they love and follow Jesus 🙏🏻 I'm a baby Christian and I hope this encourages others to stand proud and not be ashamed of your faith in God 🙏🏻 Thank you!! Always work as if you are working for Lord🙏🏻

[@DIYAlex]

I have tried to justify keeping my faith private for far too long. So I’m trying to walk in obedience now! Welcome to the Kingdom. I’m so glad you’re here 💕

[@user-cz6vo2xl3k]

What a refreshing breath of faith:) I’ve been watching your videos for a while but seeing this one hit home. I love that you did this video. Shout it out Alex!! Praise God!!!!!!

[@DIYAlex]

That’s right! Amen ❤️

[@rosanneheller6584]

Alex. Thank you for sharing. You are a mirror of God's love for us. I look forward to more DIY Alex and your smile and sharing.

[@DIYAlex]

You’re so welcome Rosanne! That’s what I strive to do!! 💕

[@sandraclements8438]

Thank you so much for this. It’s awesome to see how God works in folks’ lives. You have a wonderful, gentle spirit that attracted me to follow you in the first place. Plus I needed help in learning my Cricut! Thank you for your testimony. All of us have our stories……God is good all the time. Bloom where you are planted through the spiritual gifts you are given. Thank you Jesus for this faithful servant, Alex. Don’t sweat the work schedule….God will work it out. Thanks again.

[@DIYAlex]

You are so sweet! Thank you! This is God's story, I'm just living in it! That's true, He will most definitely work it out!

[@teshaboyd]

Your video kept popping up on my recommendation over this past week so I finally watched it...and I'm very thankful I did!! God bless you and your family to His glory and honor🤎🤎🤎✝️

[@DIYAlex]

God is so good!!

[@bonniewhillock3536]

God is soooo good! I found you when I got my Cricut and knew there was something different about you 😍. We live in crazy times where each of us has to make a decision and I too feel a desire to reach others. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.

[@DIYAlex]

Yes He is! 🙌🏼 I’m so glad you’re here!!

[@Lindawarner1953]

Glory to God! An amazing testimony of His good grace. Praying you continue to have success and further His kingdom.

[@prptink]

Praise the Lord ❤Thank you so much for sharing your faith and your story! Love your boldness and vulnerability ❤ Amen 🙏🏽 This lady couple of days my husband and I have been at a Pastors retreat and we were able to re sign the covenant we signed 14 years ago. It was a breath of fresh air and a reminder of God’s faithfulness to us, our children and our ministry throughout all these years. Crafting is one of the gifts God has given me and it’s one of the things that makes me the happiest to share with so many. I pray God continue to use you through this channel for His Kingdom. You may not know how are things are going to go but He does. Blessings upon blessings to you and your beautiful family. Stay blessed love 🥰

[@DIYAlex]

You are precious! I'm so glad you were able to sign the covenant again to remember all that God has done for you! You're so right, it's in His hands!

[@TroyTube]

wow talk about a stroll down memory lane! 🙏🙏🙏

[@DIYAlex]

I know it!! I can't believe it was so long ago! It feels like yesterday!

[@marlenenicholl6825]

Great to hear your story - I mostly make greeting cards and it is all because of the Lord - I talk to Him all the time while making these cards and thank Him over and over - I couldn’t make the cards I do without His help - I give all the praise and glory to Him - so many say I am gifted and I know I am but it is only because of the Lord

[@DIYAlex]

Every Good and Perfect gift is from Him, so I think you’re absolutely right! Keep going Marlene! That’s wonderful.

[@theresa5867]

Thank you for sharing your testimony. God is so good and orders our steps when we let him. I’ve always loved you and this just makes me love you so much more. Keep up the good work.

[@DIYAlex]

I’m happy to share and give God the glory! He’ll keep running the show!

[@katherinespangler7201]

Congratulations! You are doing a great job. God is truly on your side! Thru him all things are possible!

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you! He wants to give us the desires of our hearts! 💕

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you Tammy! I wanted everyone to know how He has woven all the pieces together!

[@jessycahannah6527]

I appreciate that you are able to speak on your faith in God, I have struggled in my faith for years. My life, while not a tough as others, has been a struggle in its own right and I struggle with my faith often. I was going to comment why I came across this video three months late but that doesn't matter. Hope you and the fam are doing well.

[@DIYAlex]

I don’t know what you’ve been through, but I hope you know that the Holy Spirit will always meet you wherever you’re at. Good days and hard days alike. ❤️

[@KristenCenci]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. However it continues know that we will be here. Best wishes for you.

[@DIYAlex]

You're so welcome Kristen! Thanks for always being along for the ride! I'm so glad you're a part of this Crafty Fam 💖

[@bronzebeauty4074]

I totally understand about figuring out business plans, going back to work, and still trying to manage self-care all at the same time. I had my daughter in October, so my husband and I are making that transition. But congrats to you and the husband, and I'm looking forward to your videos.

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you! Congratulations on your little one as well! It’s a dance, but it’s so worth it! ☺️

[@kimnugent4541]

Alex, It was so refreshing to hear you give God all the praise. He is so good and I am a firm believer in Matthew 10:33 (Whoever denies Me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.) Be bold in your faith, He is so worth it. Congratulations on Carter

[@DIYAlex]

Thanks Kim! He is praiseworthy for sure!

[@joleneuccello3588]

In time you will find a groove. God's blessings to you and your family!!!

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you so much!

[@gailmcginnis1431]

The Lord places us where we are needed most. Thank you for sharing your faith. You never know who may need to hear this message and touch them.

[@sarahseid5674]

I LOVE this video!!! And I love you so much Alex. Being Jewish, I am so looking forward to getting you know you within that context of Christianity because understanding your truth will only make me a better Jew and person. Thank you so much for sharing and I am looking forward to this new journey. And I gotta say, LOVEEEEEEEE the sweater - the color looks awesome on you.

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you Sarah!! I really enjoy chatting with you about what's different and similar in our faiths. Thank you for listening! Thank you so much! I don't wear this sweater when I have Carter because he will just eat it, and it's too fuzzy hahah! So I only get to wear it when I'm by myself!

[@Thefunkyone2]

Your story is very inspiring! 😊Keeping it simple and giving all the glory to God!...Awesome! Take care of yourself and your family. May the Lord bless you and keep you... Numbers 6:24-26

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you!! That is the blessing that I speak over Carter all the time!! ❤️🙌🏼

[@candicer]

You will find what works for you. And we will be here waiting 😊❤ most of us are moms we understand.

[@DIYAlex]

Everyone has been so sweet so far 🥹 it has been so wonderful to have your support! ❤️

[@candicer]

@DIYAlex all the Hearts 💕

[@tassie32]

Thank you for sharing your story... Girl you ROCK and your Business will only grow from here..Give all the Glory to Jesus and not yourself. Blessings to you as you seek HIM for what your future looks like. The Lord has already paved our your path. Keeping you lifted in prayers as you seek HIM and what is next for your Family.

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you!! We could always use prayer. ❤️🙌🏼

[@emilygraham9008]

Alex, you are a blessing to all of us. I’m looking for to seeing what God’s plans are for you and this channel. Just know that being a mama and raising a child is one of God’s greatest gifts and you are doing what you are made to do. We will be here for whatever schedule you end up having.

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you so much Emily! I’m along for whatever God tells me to take! Even in the short time I’ve been a mama, I know it’s a sacred job and the greatest blessing ❤️

[@bramirez41]

I want to encourage you in the Lord as you continue to walk with Him that you keep your faith exclusively in Him and what He's done for you at the Cross...1 Corinthians I:18; 2:2 as we have given our lives to Jesus and have denied self we bear our because of Him (Luke 9:23) I will continue to keep you in prayer

[@DIYAlex]

Absolutely! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@nwhummingbird]

Happy Business Anniversary

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you so much! I can’t believe how fast the time has gone!

[@florayeager9945]

God Bless

[@DIYAlex]

Right back at you!

[@matthewmoore6883]

Praise God!

[@DIYAlex]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@cinpamrol]

It took me over a year to recover from my CSection and after that few years I had to go back for another surgery to have all the I Tissue removed that was causing pain and I decided to have my tubes tied then

[@DIYAlex]

I knew that having a C section would make my recovery more intense, but that was still an understatement 🤣.

[@nwhummingbird]

Amen! What version of the Bible toyou prefer?

[@DIYAlex]

🙌🏼 I usually read in the NLT!

[@rhondamoore3700]

It is so refreshing to see someone that is so young want to give their testimony and give all glory to God concerning your life. I am excited for you and your family because things are only going to get better from here. You have put the Lord first in your life and business. Just stand back and see , God is so good! I can’t wait to watch what happens next!

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you!! I think God is redeeming families because I’m seeing it a lot recently!! I’ll just keep showing up and letting God show me what’s next.

[@slachney08]

I am beyond moved on hearing that you follow Jesus. I am a firm follower of Jesus Christ also. I often wonder if the crafters that I subscribe to are also Christian. I feel like God is answering me when I see these posts. This video got me emotional to hear this about you. I’m glad that you are not ashamed of who you really are. I love hearing about the Lord and how he is working in peoples lives. All glory goes to God! I look forward to seeing more videos about your faith and faith based crafts 😁. Also congratulations on your baby boy, he is so adorable. May God keep blessing you and your family. Lots of Love!❤❤❤

[@DIYAlex]

It’s tempting to hide the parts of our lives like faith because it’s vulnerable and as a creator may rub people the wrong way. I’ve alluded to it and discussed it lightly, but the gloves are off baby! All glory to God!! 🙌🏼 I’m so glad that you’re part of my Crafty Fam! And thank you!! I am beyond blessed to be his mama! ❤️

[@tenapenley253]

I am a follower of Jesus Christ my self so Amen sista
